The Amulet Quest

Jewel's Darkest Hour 2.0

Jewel awoke slowly,her head throbbing.She looked around her and tried to remember where she was.Before she realized,she couldn't.Scrambling to her feet she spun around trying to find a clue or something that sparked her memory.She couldn't even remember the name of her parents."Where the heck am I?"She muttered under her breath.She saw the door and almost ran straight into it.She had run fast.Or had she?She never had felt the ground when she ran there.She pushed the though from her mind and she pulled at the handle.She had to concentrate on getting out.The door opened surprisingly and she found herself in a glass room.Walking over to the glass walls she tested the strength of them."Dang these are strong."Jewel said to herself.Well she wasn't breaking out of this room.She turned and looked around the place seeing a small tv,recliner and a table.Well at least she could watch some stuff.She walked back to the room area which she had started calling 'her room' because well.She didn't really know what else to call it.She saw a small window and walked over to it.She could see some trees and a small river outside.She really wanted to be out there right now.Swimming,climbing heck even doing yard work or something if she could just get out of this stupid two roomed cage!"Um hey can I get out of here?"Jewel called out.She felt stupid for doing it but you never know what could work these days."No you may not."She heard something say."Now shut up or your 'room's' floor will be the color red instead of white."She heard whatever it was say again.She shuddered.After a moment she crawled back into the bed she had woken up into and layed down.She kept her mouth shut and waited.Scared for her life.Crystal spotted it first."That tree looks rather strange."She commented.Lightningpool pulled her horse to a stop,and dismounted."Lightningpool what are you doing?"Willow asked.Light lifted her head from the back of her horses neck having been roused by the chatter.Her horses reins had been tied to Lightningpool's saddle so she could rest.She felt a little refreshed.Lightningpool did not respond instead she circled the tree carefully,she felt something below her shift."Everyone dismount now and tie up the horses I think I found something."Lightningpool whispered knowing to keep quite.Willow,Light and Crystal did as she asked and tied them up before walking over to her.Lightningpool got down on her knees and grabbed the grass before pulling.A trapdoor was revealed."Do you think Jewel could be down there?"Light asked."There's only one way to find out."Lightningpool answered and opened it.She lowered herself down and onto a wooden ladder.Down she went the others following.Once they reached the end of ladder the group found themselves in a sort of stone base."Well this could be where she is defiantly."Willow whispered seeing a guard walk across the room.The girls stayed in the shadows not wanting to be discovered."Lets go before he comes back."Light said after the guard had dissapiered.They all agreed,they had there weapons out now not wanting to be surprised.They went down hallway after hallway peaking into cell after cell,using all the skill they possessed in stealth to not be seen."Freeze right there!"A deep voice shouted,and they broke into a run."This way!"Lightningpool shouted dashing down a left hallway.They all followed her the guard calling for backup while he gave chase.Jewel heard footsteps from her bed and she sprang up and ran to the glass cage.She heard them getting closer and closer.She saw a yellow and blue figure flash by and a name came to her."LIGHTNINGPOOL!"Jewel shouted not knowing if it was that persons name or not.There where other girls infrount of the glass now."Jewel!"Willow shouted,while Lightningpool ran back to them.With one moment of hesitation Lightningpool threw herself at the door using her ability to fly to her advantage to gain speed in the small hallway.The glass door banged open and Lightningpool tumbled into the cell."Jewel come on we got to go NOW!"the person who Jewel guessed to be Lightningpool shouted urgently, while she got to her feet."Let go then!"Jewel shouted and ran out of the cage.Light started running everyone else following after her."We got to find are way back to the exit!"Crystal yelled.Light nodded and started taking turn after turn confidently as if she knew where she was going.Light lead them to the ladder and shoved Jewel to it first."CLIMB!"Light shouted and so Jewel did.They followed after her and once they where all out the slammed the trapdoor shut and untied the horses."Get on the back of mine Jewel."Lightningpool ordered before jumping onto hers and holding out a hand to help Jewel up.Jewel took it hesitantly and was swung up and into the saddle."Lets get out of here!"Crystal yelled and needing no further encouragement they rode away as fast as there horses could go.
